Phantom Sun

The design is inspired by the daylight, sand dunes, light and color of the future space. At the same time, it innovated the metal handle, which is called "Sword of Magic Sun" The designer used the collision of imitation metal materials and colors to give the home space more futuristic and technological sense. In the functional design, the lifestyle of the urban crowd is taken into consideration. More closed cabinet door design methods are adopted, and a small number of open compartments use color back panels to meet the display needs of users.

Water Ripples

The work is based on the water ripples, and it turns the natural scene into an interactive rocking chair that allows you to sit or lie down on the chair as if the body swings carefreely along with the movements of water ripples. The characteristic of it is the flowing texture of water ripples. No matter indoors or outdoors, especially where there is light, its water ripples will show natural light and shadow through the ground.

2D Lantern

The 2D urban lantern has only two dimensions, it has no depth, it only develops on a flat surface, as if it were a drawing written in the sky. Its shape is visible and invisible depending on how the designers places it in the space. An element that manifests its presence only when it lights up, integrating discreetly into the urban context. Urban lanterns contribute to giving cities an identity, they are signs that remain imprinted in the culture of collective memory, becoming part of the narration of urban life.

The plywood shells follow the lines of the seat and backrest which are esthetically linked with two posterior ornaments in casted aluminum, even though it's the tapestry box that accommodates the structure of the armchair.

Reflex

Natural phenomena, objects, and substances are clear, unified, and unambiguous as they are. The perception is what gives them infinite variability, makes them unique, and allows them to reveal new interpretations. It is like a ray of light that shows exceptional facets and depth that were not visible before. In introspective psychology, the process of comprehending the feelings and emotions associated with the reactions to the surrounding reality is called reflection. This term inspired designers to create this collection and gave it the name Reflex.

Enigma

The very name of the collection tells us a lot about the mysteries this luminaire hides. The luminaire's concise design is not only dictated by contemporary trends, but above all by its design features. The shape of the luminaire hides almost endless adjustment possibilities, so that the lighting can be set individually for the user. The luminaire consists of a cylindrical metal base, hosting the LED light source. It features semi-circular elements. At the top there is a unique adjustment system, using which the orientation of the light beam can be changed in the vertical direction.
